Those were the first two things that popped in my mind! I also like to pack a mini-wallet or card holder thingy to keep the passes in. That way, they are separated from everything else and less of a chance of getting de-magnetized. After a trip when that kept happening, I learned to keep them separated.
I always pack things like big plastic ziploc bags to store ponchos or wet clothes in my backpack inside the park.
Another nice thing to pack is a cheap plastic, over-the-door shoe holder. You can generally find these in the dollar store and they come in handy in the bathroom. Keeps your toiletries off the sink and organized. Hangs easily in the closet.
Foot lotion is great after a long day of walking. If you prefer a certain type of tea or coffee in the morning, might be a good idea to bring some along. Good luck!

We bring along our spray bottle fans every trip. I can get them for 5 bucks at home or get stuck paying $17 in the park. If you want gum, then you better bring your own since you can't get it in the parks. Plenty of extra batteries for the camera.
I also bring my own poncho's and we always go to our local dollar store and pick up some Disney stuff for the kids to get on the plane or during the trip. Sure beats paying the prices down there.
Most of all bring a lot of patience and you will be just fine.

I keep a bag packed with stuff to take to WDW just so I don't forget things:
Spray water bottle fan
Mickey Fan (for the stroller)
Mickey Water Bottle Holder (attaches to stroller)
Mickey Umbrella (I like better than a poncho)
Lg and Sm Disney ponchos (for DH and DSs)
Silver Minnie Ears
Light up Minnie Ears
Light up necklace (for DS - 5yr)
Assorted Kids Light up toys
Minnie Christmas cap (for December trip)
Black Minnie Ears
Concertrated Laundry Detergent (We stay in a DVC Villa)
Raincoat for the stroller
These are, of course, in addition to all of the normal things that one would take on vacation.
Good to know about the gum SAV. We usually take ours but now I will make sure we have some.

My Disney backpack purse, umbrella that fits in my purse, pins to trade, shiny pennies and quarters for the pressing machines, sharpie &/or a pen, advil, 100 calorie packs for snacks, suntan lotion, and aloe.
Now I'm adding to my list my fold up mickey reusable bag I bought down there a few weeks ago. I bought it because I needed something bigger than my backpack for my "purse" carryon. It worked great!

What you need I think depends on whether you have kids or not. I am going next week and I have my backpack that I'll be bringing to the parks each day already packed. Now mind you I have 4 kids ages 13, 5, 4 and 2 and I pack anything and everything I may need. I do this not just for Disney but for any park and day trip we take.
Here's my list
-change of clothes for little guys
-plastic bag to store any wet clothes
-2 ponchos and a small umbrella (ponchos are to cover stoller if it's raining while we are inside an attraction)
-small thing of sunblock, bug repellent wipes
-diapers and wipes
-sunglasses for everyone
-bodyglide
-bandaids, small antibacterial ointment packs, travel things of Excedrin Migraine (a must for me), Advil and Immodium
-spray misters with the fans
-glow sticks from the dollar store
-quarters and pennies for the press penny machines ( I keep them in mini M+M containers)
-hand sanitizer, chapstick
-juicecup and kids disposable fork and spoon for my 2 year old
-washcloths that I will soak with cold water and put them into ziploc bags with ice, midday when it's 90 out they feel real nice on the back of your neck
camera of course with extra battery
And each day I will put in a few snacks for the kids to munch on through the day as well as water and juice boxes. I know this sounds like alot but I'm one of those people that would rather be safe than sorry and all of this fits into a decent size backpack.

Wow, beccone. I thought I was the only weirdo to pack glow sticks for nights and wash cloth for cooling off.
I also pack our spray fans, bandaids, benedryl, tums, small and large ziplocks, snacks, water bottles, tylenol, ponchos, water shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and baby wipes for when we cannot get to a sink.

I have a small tupperware container I keep under the bed with our Disney specifics
Hot pink Tinkerbell bag with matching coin purse (the coin purse fits all the park passes nicely)
Matching Tink tees for my oldest daughter and I
Glow sticks
Super obnoxious Disney luggage tags (makes finding our bags easier)
travel bag for stroller
Clothes I picked up for us for the trip
Travel size items we randomly find in between trips
I think you get my drift.

good comfortable shoes 2 pair would be nice. i take crocs. they can get a bit slick if wet but they have never given me blisters. I also bought a waterproof wallet necklace container from Everything Pop both times i have stayed there. it holds both mine and my wifes licences, keys to the world, credit card, and a good bit of money/ disney dollars. i have never heard of any pickpocket incidents but you never know also i like to ride splash mountain and Kali river rapids. we always bring snacks too like those small slim jims and packs of fruit chews and a ziplock bag of peanuts. also a box of those crystal lite singles for refilling water bottles. and of course a box of zip lock bags for anything you might need theme for.

I often pack a small duffle bag (empty) flat in the bottom of a suitcase; that way I have room for "souvenirs" etc. When my kids were young, I packed that "extra" bag with diapers, etc., knowing it would have empty space at the end of the week for things we acquired on the trip. Now, I sometimes fill that extra bag with breakfast food/snacks to keep our meal costs down. Once again, it is empty by the end of the trip and ready to be packed with new stuff.
Other than that, plenty of hand sanitizer is a must, and some woolite is a good addition as well (you can wash out a few things in the sink and possibly avoid a trip to the laundry room!). If you DO plan to do laundry, definitely bring your own detergent and dryer sheets, packed in zip-style sandwich bags! You'll save a lot at the laundry rooms!
Finally, September is usually rainy, so be prepared with rain ponchos or jackets. Rain storm tip: don't leave the park! Florida's cloudbursts are usually short, and we always watch everyone run for the gates and then hop onto ride after ride with the shortest lines ever!

Wire hangers.
We find we cannot fit all of our clothes in the drawers and on the few hangers that come with the room. So, we pack a bunch of cheap laundromat hangers to hang our shirts on. When we go home, we leave the hangers behind so we have more room in our suitcases for souvenirs.
